<p>“The real question would be if one has choice to get into it, which one is better?

“Better” is a silly and irrelevant concept at this level. These are two of the nation’s absolutely finest schools. You can’t go wrong with either. At this level, you make the decision based on personal preferences and financial considerations (if applicable), not on which one is “better.”</p>
